'Twin Peaks' to make a comeback after 25 years.
"Twin Peaks", the cult mystery crime drama is set to return to your television screens sometime in 2017.
Showtime President David Nevins confirmed that co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost are onboard.
When the return of "Twin Peaks" was first confirmed, there were reports that it would be for nine episodes. After Showtime and David Lynch made up, the series got an extension of another 9. At the Crypticon Seattle, cast members Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer) and Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne) told fans that they can expect a Twin Peaks' 18-episode season.
Kyle Maclachlan was thrilled to know that "Twin Peaks" was returning. He is returning again as Special Agent Dale Cooper.
In an interview with Deadline.com, he said, "I was completely surprised when David said, 'It looks like we're going to return' - and I was very excited for two reasons really. One is the character of Dale Cooper, which is a lot of fun, and the world of Twin Peaks".
"Secondly, the chance to work with David again because we haven't worked together as actor / director for 25 years roughly. So it's been a while. I missed that relationship very much."
Towards the end of "Twin Peaks", 25 years ago, Laura Palmer had cryptically announced in the Red Room, "I'll see you again in 25 years." Her words are about to come true. Asked when, Frost said, "When you see it, you'll know."
Showtime plans to bridge the gap of 25 years with Mark Frost writing a book called, "The Secret Lives of the People of Twin Peaks." This should bring a sense of continuity for the fans as the book shares what's been going on with the characters during the 25-year interval.
"Twin Peaks" is slated to go into production in September since the script is already finished. It was expected to air in 2016 but the date was pushed back to 2017. It will be seen on Showtime.
